I use both,I perfer a fixed float because it allows your jig to reach its depth faster,it really depends on how much room you hace for casting.If you don't have a lot of room a slip float works,but if you do have the room for a cast with a jig hanging done 6-8 ft.,I perfer a fixed float,I just feel it keeps your jig down on a drift esp. towards the end,where a slip bobber has the chance for the jig to start comeing shallow.Just the way ,I feel.Everyone has there own way.I do know its important to keep your line behind your bobber if it gets in front it will pull your bobber faster then the current,you want to go about the same speed as the current.GOOD LUCK
